Hello partners,
Momentum is building in Congress to address health care pricing abuses and improve affordability, and it's time to keep up the pressure. On April 26th the House Energy and Commerce Committee Health Subcommittee will host a critical legislative hearing, where they'll look at specific legislation around price transparency, site neutral payments, and other important policies to reduce health care costs. Mark your calendars and keep an eye out for resources next week to help you amplify these issues and this important conversation.
To help you prepare, Families USA is releasing its newest report, The Power of Price Transparency: Unveiling Health Care Prices to Promote Accountability and Lower Costs.
Every person should have the right to know what a health care procedure costs at different hospitals or health care facilities, and the report makes the case for improving transparency and competition- including many of the issues that will come up next Wednesday.
Please reach out to myself at [email protected], or Sophia Tripoli, at [email protected], if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Mike Persley
